Who's planning on watching Neil Degrasse Tyson's reboot of Cosmos?
The first episode aired Sunday night and will be repeated Monday.
And how many of you remember the original?
NatGeo showed a lot (if not all) of the original Cosmos this afternoon. What a groundbreaking show that was. Just the visuals alone. I remember being awed by it back in 1980.
Tyson has a lot to live up to, so many people remember the original as something really special. But I liked the first episode of the new show and his personal story [spoiler] of how he met Sagan when he was 17 [/spoiler] was a nice tie in. There were also a lot of other nice references (visual and otherwise) back to the original show. I'm sure I wouldn't have recognized most of them if I hadn't seen the originals this afternoon.
The science itself was very basic to anyone who pays attention to this kind of stuff but that's OK. It may be that the show is meant for young people just getting acquainted with the science and history of our understanding of our place in the cosmos or it may progress to more complicated subjects as the show goes on. I don't expect it to be anything like as detailed as Brian's Green's mini-series that was on NOVA a couple years back.
My only real complaint was the number of commercials (should have been on PBS). My son put it pretty well when he mocked
how the show went; "There are billions of stars (VERIZON!) in billions of galaxies (SAMSUNG!) and we are all made of star (COMCAST!) stuff."
Here's a treat, all 12 original Cosmos episodes from 1980.

VBR Foodie Rave: Gracias Madre
I grew up in El Paso, Texas, so I luuuuuurve me some tasty-ass Mexican food! Unfortunately, Mexican food is a bit tricky to find vegan-style (oftentimes there's lard in the chips, chicken broth in the rice, etc.). I'm super grateful to live in the Bay Area where we've got TWO fantastic 100% vegan Mexican restaurants, Flacos in Berkekley and Gracias Madre in S.F.!
Today, I wanna focus on Gracias Madre… I'm gonna let these photos speak for themselves, but lemme just quickly say that errthang was HELLLLA tasty!!).
Have you been to Gracias Madre? What's your favorite thing to order?

Looks great! Wish I lived in SF
Lard in the chips!? This is news to me. Thank-you. Dem tacos look delicious!
I'm from/live in El Paso, TX. I'm so jealous of all the amazing vegan restaurants you have put there!
Going to SF in a few days, will have to try it!
Try the flautas! Those were my favorite. Drooool. I was kickin' it at the LA Gracias Madre, but I'm assuming the menus are the same.
Hey friend! If you ever make it to Tucson (which I call a slightly better version of El Paso), there are some amazing vegan-friendly Mexican restaurants!
YUM! I have been there once and loved those quesadillas! They have great margaritas, too.
Looks yummy

The daily vitamins that are best for a child to take in order to achieve healthy growth are different from what a young adult or senior citizen requires. As the years progress, so do our dietary needs—Flintstones vitamins make way for Centrum Silver.
Advisory firms follow a similar logic. As firms reach different stages in their development, the focus for what will best sustain growth and longevity shifts. While many operational best practices remain relevant across the development spectrum, certain practices return a greater benefit at certain stages.
This is our fourth and final feature article related to "The 2012 FA Insight Study of Advisory Firms: Growth by Design." Past articles explored the industry's success in achieving growth as well as growth's benefits and challenges. Most recently we summarized the general firm operating characteristics that are most closely associated with achieving high-quality sustainable growth (Visit ThinkAdvisor.com/tag/Growth-by-Design for past articles).
In this article, we emphasize that one size does not fit all when it comes to prescriptive advice. Our general observations about growth raised previously are distilled to the strategies that are most relevant during particular stages of firm development.
Four Stages of Development: Operators, Cultivators, Accelerators and Innovators
From the outset, recognition of the changing nuances and needs of firms as they progress in their development has always been an important component of FA Insight's industry research. Our annual studies divide and examine firms according to four stages. In ascending order of size according to annual firm revenue, these stages are: Operators, Cultivators, Accelerators and Innovators.
Figure 1 provides an introduction of the four firm stages defined by FA Insight, including brief summaries of the key factors that distinguish the typical firm within the stage.
Figure 2 provides a quantitative summary of the typical firm in each stage based on research results from the 2012 FA Insight study. A quick review confirms the descriptive points listed in Figure 1. As a firm evolves from Operator to Innovator, the firm does not just get bigger. A firm grows in complexity both in terms of its organizational structure and the more complicated needs of the higher-net-worth clients it serves. These changes represent new challenges but also higher returns for owners in the form of compensation or profits they derive from their firms.
Ideally, the growth trajectory achieves not just greater levels of owner income but also assurance that the firm will continue to grow and generate further income. As we've reminded readers in the past, the ability of a firm to consistently grow and generate income, currently and into the future, is the core component of firm value.
Thus sustainable growth results from the quality as opposed to the quantity or rate of a firm's growth. While there are no easy shortcuts to sustainable growth, the path becomes smoother when owners understand the business practices that deserve the most attention given a firm's current stage of development. What follows are growth recommendations from FA Insight, emphasizing the most important consideration for firm owners at each stage.
Operators: Know Your Client and Build Your Firm Accordingly
Early in its development a firm is hungry to establish a client base. Fixed costs must be covered and owners can struggle to generate adequate income. As a consequence, the temptation is high for Operator firms to take on clients that may not be the most appropriate long-term fit for the firm.
Invariably (and understandably) client acceptance exceptions can become commonplace in these early days. Unless these exceptions are minimized, however, it will be difficult for a firm to progress forward on the right path toward sustainable growth. A host of opportunities open up by defining a target client and tailoring the firm's marketing, operations and servicing capabilities toward profitably delivering the maximum value to the target client type.
Establishing and pursuing a target market enables the Operator firm to make the most of its scarce resources, driving efficiencies and greater productivity while improving its ability to consistently deliver the desired client experience. These are opportunities a firm can benefit from throughout its life cycle by better positioning the firm to accommodate future growth.
Cultivators: Create an Organizational Blueprint
At the Cultivator stage, the firm forms a team that extends beyond just an advisor and an administrative assistant for the first time. Increasing layers of organizational complexity accompany firm growth. Positions evolve from generalists to specialists in terms of focus. An expanding cadre of non-professionals is added to better support and leverage the increasingly scarce capacity of firm professionals. While the typical Cultivator employs one non-professional for every professional, this ratio expands to 1.7 for every professional by the time a firm grows to Accelerator size.
If mismanaged, additions to staff will threaten to derail the firm by increasing costs without a commensurate contribution to revenue. For Cultivators on the brink of accelerated growth, every hire must directly or indirectly support profit growth by enhancing either efficiency or productivity.
A plan for organizational structure is critical at this stage for dictating the positions that best suit the firm at present while preparing for future positions the firm will need to develop or recruit in order to sustain growth. Additionally, this work will support the progression and retention of top talent that can further strengthen growth prospects. A comprehensive blueprint will include clear job descriptions that specify accountabilities and reporting lines, as well as direct future organizational changes that will most smoothly accommodate growth.
Accelerators: Make Management a Full-Time Job
Given growing business complexity beyond $1.5 million in annual revenues, dedicated management becomes an imperative ingredient for sustainable growth. The addition of a full-time manager for Accelerator firms is an important milestone in the transition from practice to business.
The new manager, typically an operations manager or a chief operating officer for a bigger firm, further releases professional capacity for revenue generation. A management "specialist" provides the Accelerators with greater management expertise and accountability. The following areas are examples of where a dedicated manager can provide important contributions:
- Refining and implementing the business strategy of the firm
- Developing and enhancing firm workflow
- Benchmarking and structuring compensation
- Overseeing a performance management process for team members
- Planning and implementing technology solutions
- Planning and implementing marketing strategies
Innovators: Engineer Scale to Best Realize Economies
With typical annual revenues of $6.2 million and 27 full-time team members, Innovators are sizable businesses relative to the rest of the advisory industry. As they work to sustain growth, the key challenge for these firms is to realize the full advantages of the scale that they have already achieved.
Overhead expenses as a share of revenue are a good proxy for a firm's ability to utilize scale and achieve economy. Without exception, in each of our past four annual FA Insight studies the overhead expense margin for the typical Innovator firm was actually greater than the typical margin for smaller Accelerator firms. While reaching the size of an Innovator has its rewards, firms of this size clearly begin to experience new issues in terms of managing costs.
Continued investment in full-time management can help Innovators turn these results around. Additional work on organizational structure is important as well. Accelerators can benefit in particular by forming clear career paths for team members to progress and advance through the firm. These career paths should accommodate professional as well as non-professional positions. Career paths create important benefits in terms of retaining and improving valued talent and ensuring a new generation of firm leaders and owners to sustain the firm over time.
Use of technology can be another important contributor to operational efficiency and cost savings. The area grows in importance for Innovators that tend to serve more complex clients with a wider spectrum of investment products, reporting and billing needs. Standout Innovators, or the top 25% of firms within the stage according to a blended rank of recent revenue growth and current income, invest slightly more in technology than other Innovators, but the more compelling distinction is technology deployment. For example, while 27% of Standout Innovators report achieving full integration of their technologies, just 18% of other Innovators make this claim. In general, important technology practices for this stage include the following:
- Set annual budgets for new investments in technology
- Apply a consistent process in evaluating technology investments in ROI analysis
- Integrate technology components to fully support business-to-client processes
- Provide team members with both initial technology training as well as ongoing training resources
It is no coincidence that these technology practices, according to study results, are also characteristic of sustainable-growth firms in general.
Honing Your Focus
Taking time out from working in the business in order to work on the business is never easy for firm owners. Further, any regular reader of the trade press is fully aware of the vast array of business management issues that advisory firms must address. To make business improvement less daunting, recognize where your firm resides along the development spectrum and focus on mastering the lessons that will provide the most value for your firm.
In the months ahead, please look forward to our introductory feature on "The 2013 FA Insight Study of Advisory Firms: People and Pay." The study will be our fifth annual industry review, offering a special focus on human capital issues and, in particular, giving special attention to how firms organize and progress their people in order to best facilitate and accommodate growth.

Amish Girls Kidnapping Motive Was 'to Victimize Girls,' Police Say
Stephen Howells II, Nicole Vaisey abducted, intended to harm girls, police say.
OSWEGATCHIE, New York -- A northern New York couple used "coercion tactics" to lure two Amish sisters into their car during a kidnapping, the St. Lawrence County sheriff said today, a day after the couple was arrested.
Police arrested Stephen Howells II, 39, and Nicole Vaisey, 25, both of Hermon, late Friday. They were each charged with two counts of first-degree kidnapping, indicating that they intended to physically harm or sexually abuse the girls.
St. Lawrence County Sheriff Kevin Wells said the couple and the children didn't know each other but that the kidnapping was planned.
"The motive was to victimize children," Wells said during a news conference. "The girls have been victims of crimes. That's the only detail we'll give."
Arrests Made in Kidnapping of New York Amish Girls
Missing Amish Girls Found Alive
Howells and Vaisey will face other charges, including possible federal charges, Wells said, adding that they may have planned to kidnap more girls. Both suspects are being held without bail.
District Attorney Mary Rain said information provided by the girls helped lead to Howells and Vaisey. The suspects' home is about 13 miles from where the girls live.
A preliminary hearing was scheduled for Thursday afternoon.
The 12- and 7-year-old sisters were abducted Wednesday night in Oswegatchie, N.Y., a rural town located near the Canadian border, when they went out to sell vegetables to a car at the stand, according to police.
The next night, they showed up on the doorstep of Jeff and Pam Stinson barefoot, cold, wet and hungry, the couple told ABC News.
The Stinsons opened their door to the two girls, who asked the couple to drive them back home. The Stinsons said they recognized the girls because they had bought produce from them before and were aware of news reports about their abduction.
When the girls arrived on their doorstep, the Stinsons fed them watermelon and grape juice and the girls were so hungry they couldn't stop eating the watermelon.
"They ate that watermelon in 30 seconds. It was fast," said Jeff Stinson.
Jeff Stinson knew exactly where the two girls lived because he had bought corn from the elder girl before at their vegetable stand.
An Amber Alert had been issued Wednesday night after a witness reported seeing a vehicle pull up to the stand, the girls go out to wait on them and then the driver of the car put something in the backseat. When the car drove away, the witness told police the children were gone.
Rain said the sisters were still wearing Amish attire when they were found.
ABC News' Colleen Curry, Alyssa Newcomb and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Last June, Google released Google Search Appliance (GSA) 6.0, a new version of its Enterprise search device that can now rummage through over one billion documents across linked devices. Now Google has unveiled new and updated GSA Connectors that allow businesses to plug in even more offline data and content management systems.
The most notable of these new GSA Connectors is for Salesforce, allegedly the world's most popular CRM system. This Connector is released through Google Enterprise Labs, however, carrying the label of "experimental." Still, it allows a GSA to search Salesforce content like sales reports and customer correspondence alongside documents stored in Google Apps. With this major addition of a cloud service to GSA's abilities, Google is touting its ability to meld online and offline data no matter where it is located.
Other popular CMSes received attention with this GSA Connectors update, including SharePoint, Documentum, and FileNet. GSA can now power a SharePoint search box, and Google supports more recent versions of Documentum (v6.5) and FileNet (v4). Google has also improved and simplified the GSA Connectors configuration experience with an eye towards making administrators' lives easier.
The Google Search Appliance has improved quite a lot in a short amount of time in Google's quest to compete better with Microsoft in Enterprise search. One year ago, Google released an improved GSA architecture that could search up to 10 million documents on a single device, while GSA 6.0 now searches 30 million documents on a single device.

The Terps-Irish matchup will be shown on ESPN and ESPN3.com and can be heard on ESPN 980 (DC).
For the full NCAA Tournament bracket, log on tohttp://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/basketball-women/d1. The winner of Sunday's matchup will take on Connecticut or Stanford Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. ET in the NCAA National Championship game.
Three-time All-American Alyssa Thomas scored 22 points and grabbed 13 rebounds as Maryland reached its fourth NCAA Final Four all-time with a 76-73 win at third-seeded Louisville Tuesday night. Freshman Lexie Brown added 20 points and senior Katie Rutan scored 12.
This is the seventh all-time meeting between the Terps and the Irish. Maryland owns the series, 4-2. The Irish won this year's regular season meeting between the two, 87-83, at Comcast Center on Jan. 29. Alyssa Thomas led a furious second half comeback for the Terrapins with 29 points and 12 rebounds as they took a one-point lead with minutes to play.
In last year's NCAA Tournament run, the fourth-seeded Terrapins cruised past Quinnipiac, 72-52, in the First Round in College Park, then beat Michigan State, 74-49 to advance to the Sweet Sixteen. Maryland fell to eventual national champion Connecticut in the Sweet Sixteen in Bridgeport, Conn.
This marks Maryland's 22nd NCAA Tournament appearance and 10th in head coach Brenda Frese's 12 years. She's led Maryland to four Elite Eights, five Sweet Sixteens, two Final Fours and the 2006 NCAA Championship. Her all-time record with Maryland in the Tournament is 25-8 (.758).
The Terrapins are a top four seed for the 13th time in school history No. 4 seed for the third time. They are 7-2 all-time as the fourth-seed.
Thomas became Maryland's all-leading scorer in the men's or women's history in the NCAA First Round with her 13 points. She passed Juan Dixon (2,269) and currently has 2,342 career points. She also has 1,229 career rebounds, which ties her with Crystal Langhorne for the school record.

In this lurid Tod Browning melodrama, boasting a thoroughly creepy performance by Lon Chaney, Chaney plays Phroso, a limehouse magician who is thoroughly in love with his wife Anna (Jacquelin Gadsdon). Also in love with Phroso's wife is ivory-trader Crane (Lionel Barrymore). After a performance, Anna tells Phroso that she is leaving him to go away with Crane to Africa. After Phroso confronts Crane, Crane kicks him down a second-floor landing, crippling him. Months later, Phroso, now known as Dead Legs Flint, is now seen to be paralyzed from the chest down, and he gets around by pulling himself forward by his hands. He enters a church where he sees Annie has returned, but she is dead at the altar, leaving her child Maizie, whom Dead Legs assumes to be Crane's child, crying next to her. Hate consumes the soul of Dead Legs, and he swears vengeance on Crane. Years pass. Dead Legs is now lording it over a group of African savages as their god. Maizie (Mary Nolan) has been installed at a brothel in Zanzibar and is now a broken-down alcoholic prostitute. Dead Legs conspires to steal some of Crane's ivory so Crane can appear before Dead Legs, and his revenge can be redeemed. He sends for Maizie and reveals her to Crane. He plans on killing Crane and, due to an African tribal custom that says a man's daughter must be burned at the stake when he dies, have the savages have their way with Maizie. But when Crane arrives and he tells Dead Legs that Maizie is not his daughter but Dead Legs' daughter, Dead Legs is stupefied. Crane leaves and is shot by the savages, his body returned to Dead Legs. Now the bloodthirsty savages want Maizie, so that she can be sacrificed at the stake. Dead Legs, as her father, must now conspire a way to save his daughter from certain death.~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

We haven't met personally and, given the geographical distance between my country and yours, will will probably never see each other face to face.
I don't even know if you will ever get to read this.
I just wanted to say that I came across your blog some time ago, when I was taking my first steps in Linux land and, thanks to your posts, I grew more confident. I learned a lot about Linux reading your entries.
There is more. Thanks to your blog, I came across a fantasy novel that will keep me busy academically.
However, that's not all. You made me see harsh realities that had been veiled from my eyes. I discovered the courage of a cancer survivor who fights different battles on multiple fronts. Sometimes, my heart ached with your posts. Some other times, your writing brought happiness into my life when I really needed it.
Perhaps silently, you have been busy bringing happiness to many children in Texas, young people who had been formerly excluded from didactic activities because they lacked a computer. All of them deserved a better future.
As an educator (and more as the father of a little girl), I understand your cause. The future of any society is found in children. Dickens spoke about that long ago with the terrifying scene of the creepy girl and boy that crawled from under the cloak of the ghost in A Christmas Carol. It is no coincidence that the Ghost of Present says that the two terrible children, Ignorance and Want, have the potential to bring about doom.
Mr. Starks, you have been erasing the ominous word from the forehead of many children, giving them a different future. Will the next computer genius come from them? Is the future leader that will keep our world free playing with one Reglue computer today?
The Linux community has one saying: "Linux unleashes the power of your computer". Reglue has been unleashing the power of many children.
That's why I believe in Reglue. And I believe in you. My whole family believes in you.
I wish the Linux community understood this and donated for the future of Linux. That future is in children, not in a mobile device... but maybe those who donated for the mobile device, if their dream does not come true, would be kind enough to redirect a tiny part of the money they pledged to a different cause? Will they paint a smile on the sad face of a child that dreams of a computer?
Mr. Starks, I believe in you because you are a visionary. You know that, ultimately, it's not the code that will keep Linux growing. The future growth of Linux depends on the quantity of children that get exposed to it today.
|My 3-year daughter playing with her Linux computer
Finally, let me thank you, Mr. Starks. What you have done in Texas will have a profound impact in my country someday. We will probably not be around by then... by my daughter will.
So, from the bottom of my heart... Big thanks!

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) is an important tool for everyone, not just skeptics. It gives the right to anyone to ask for any information held by public authorities who are obliged to supply that information unless it is covered by a limited number of exemptions.
The House of Commons Justice Committee said earlier this year:
The Freedom of Information Act has been a significant enhancement of our democracy.
Indeed it is, but it is under threat and a campaign was started earlier this year to protect it. The threats to it are concisely summarised in an e-petition to the Government (unfortunately now closed):
Leave FOI Alone (#saveFOI)
Responsible department: Ministry of Justice
The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOI) has exposed the scandal of MPs' expenses, and many examples of waste and improper behaviour by public authorities, politicians and public officials. We call on the government not to allow it to be watered down, nor for there to be a charge for making requests for information.
The public authorities covered by the FOIA are listed in Schedule 1 to the Act and include the bodies you would expect and maybe a few you've never heard of.
But Trading Standards (TS) is one such public authority covered by the FOIA.
Each Local Authority in the country has a Trading Standards service and they are the guardians of an impressive list [Link disabled because of possible malware on that website] of regulations, orders and rules including the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations 2008 and, of course, the Cancer Act 1939.
I have never requested any information under the FOIA about Trading Standards, but it's easy to see that some information could be very useful in finding out, say, information on complaints and understanding how they work and deal with complaints.
A very useful tool for all Local Authority residents and others.
But maybe not in North Tyneside.

The regular news negatives are labeled DN, and the negatives categorized by the Chicago Daily News staff under "Sports" are labeled SDN. There are many gaps in the collection indicated by gaps in the original identification numbers. The collection contains mostly 4 x 5 in. film negatives. However the collection includes ca. 82,974 glass plate negatives. Of the glass plate negatives, ca. 243 are 8 x 10 in. and ca. 17,731 are 5 x 7 inches. The collection also includes many 120 mm. film negatives and ca. 10,500 35 mm. negatives.

Recently, VMC has been busy looking out into the Solar System – imaging Phobos and Jupiter. But yesterday, the Mars Webcam returned to its nominal target. Mars.
In these latest images, we were at an altitude of around 9800 km above the planet, looking down on the northern pole.
Here, in one of the images we got back this morning, you can see we've captured not only a great shot of the polar cap but also (in the bottom of the image) we have Olympus Mons, the largest volcano in the solar system, as well as what might to be cloud formations in the top right.
The full 28 image set (complete with what may be further cloud formations close to the pole) is available on our Flickr channel. The change in brightness from image to image is simply due to the the three different exposure settings that were used.
We have more VMC observations scheduled over the next few months and we'll post updates here on the blog and Flickr as we get them.

The mummy of Pope St. Pius I is one of the best preserved in the history of mankind. His corpse was not embalmed, it was mummified naturally for a period of about 1,700 years.
However, the most surprising thing was that they found a plenty of documents narrating different versions of the alleged life of the son of God, Jesus of Nazareth.
The discovery suggests that senior leaders of the Catholic Church hid the evidence that proves that the history of the Messiah was only an invention to carry out the purposes of the order.

Up close, spiders look like scary alien creatures ready to devour any mammals who dare cross their mandibles. Up extremely close, however, a spider's skin is richly textured, with spiky hairs that resemble industrial towers rising from the landscape.
This electron microscope photo was taken by Maria Barbajo, and appears on electron microscope supplier FEI Company's Flickr photostream. As you might imagine, FEI has loads of amazing microscopic images that ensure that you'll never look at a gecko's leg or a tomato leaf the same way again. I'd also recommend checking out the gallery on FEI's own website, which includes such phenomenal electron microscope images as this human tooth and this carbon ash grain.
The caption identifies those yellow spheres as grains of pollen, but a Flickr commenter notes that, based on their size and shape, they are more likely brochosomes, the microscopic granules secreted by leafhoppers, that got stuck to the spider's skin after a tasty leafhopper meal.

I've been super-great at getting over Colin lately. Like, when we were supposed to go out two weekends ago and I (accidentally) stood him up to go to dinner with my family. And didn't feel bad about it.
I rarely call him anymore. We used to email every day at work - but it's more like a once per week thing now. Communication with him just isn't the priority and the highlight of my day like it used to be.
We emailed a bit at work today, though. I mentioned that I'd be at Mom and Dad's tonight. Told him that he should call me if he wanted to do anything.
And now it's an hour after he was supposed to get off of work and I haven't heard from him and I'm bummed. It's stupid. It's only an hour - he could still call - and I'm supposed to be over him and his mind games and his indecision, anyway.
But I'm bummed.
And I'm bummed that I'm bummed.
All this time I was praising myself! Applauding my huge progress!
He hasn't called. It still makes me sad.

Don't worry. You'll have a blast on your Jewish date and realize there ARE others out there for you.
It's okay to feel bummed. A first relationship is special and will always tug at your heart strings.

Hahaha. PT, I love how you just referred to it as my "Jewish date." I keep doing the same thing and then being like, "Alyson! You're horrible! His religion is not an issue at this point!"
Bill, thanks. I always love hearing from you. You're awesome.

To create brand loyalty, you want your customers to connect emotionally with your
product or business. So you provide stellar customer service and offer top-of-the-line products. But how about adding some new tactics to your marketing arsenal and going after your customer's five senses?
Appealing to the Senses
Although this may seem like a new strategy, years ago the makers of PLAY-DOH and Crayola Crayons gave their products distinct smells. As adults we still probably recognize both scents, and each evokes childhood feel-good memories.
According to an article published by brand-consultancy company Lippincott 95 percent of human communication is unconscious, and 80 percent is non-verbal. That's why the senses can illicit such strong emotions. In fact there are some universal truths behind some of the strategies companies use.
- People perceive the fragrance of vanilla as nurturing, while the aromas of leather, wood and wool make them think "traditional."
- The color white is typically considered pure; blue is the most common favorite color.
- Muzak and other instrumental music typically are associated with happiness, activity and surprise.
- Women typically say premium fabrics are fine and light (silk); men, on the other hand, agree premium fabrics are fine and heavy (wool).
See Me, Hear Me, Touch Me, Feel Me
One of Lippincott's key customers, Citizens Bank, worked to create a heightened experience for its customers. The bank redesigned its lobby to feel friendlier, more casual and more approachable by using particular colors, shapes and textures for its décor and furniture. In addition, they piped in music that was specifically orchestrated to ensure "cross-generational" appeal. The six-hour playlist is fed into ATM vestibules at higher levels to ensure customers are greeted when they enter.
Retail apparel giants Hollister and Abercrombie & Fitch both entice customers into their stores through the senses. Cologne is diffused not only throughout the stores, but generally can be recognized several storefronts away. In addition, employees reportedly spray the clothing with the cologne, so buyers are reminded of their experience long after they've left the store. Loud music works makes the stores feel like a nightclub, so the store's target audience (tweens, teens and young adults) feel sexy and trendy while they're shopping. Feeling good about themselves stimulates them to buy more. (Caution: know your clientele. Some consumers may be turned off to a brand if the scent associated with it is overbearing.)
Other companies rely on touch and smells that encourage relaxation and comfort. The Westin Hotel plush white linens and bed comforters have led to the chain's identification with "luxe" accommodations The chain also infused the hotel's public spaces with the scent of white tea, and the hotel's signature scent has garnered compliments from guests and inspired a successful line of bath and body products.
Incorporating the senses into everyday business isn't difficult. Scads of research can help you understand the psychological responses regarding sight, smell, touch and taste. But the steps you take don't always have to be scientific. Perhaps you come across a picture that makes a smile. Chances are, your clients will smile too. If you feel glowing candles refresh your space, your customers will probably agree. Find music that engages your patrons appropriately. Whether you own bike gallery or a bakery, let those who come in to shop try out your products. Encourage them feel the textures of the siding or paneling they are about to install, or silkiness of the Egyptian cotton sheets.Most decisions are based upon emotions. If you can reach a customer on that level, your chance at success is much higher. When you stimulate the emotional centers in the brain, you've mined gold.

Last century, there were geographical areas of the planet that lived disconnected from each other and were Portuguese adventurers who created connections that enriched the world. The SACADURA chair honours the first aerial crossing of the South Atlantic realized by Sacadura Cabral and Gago Coutinho in 1922. Inspired by the shape of the aviator's helmet and with arms elegantly curved like the wings of a seaplane, the SACADURA's upholstery rests on a platform of turned wooden beams, giving users the impression of taking off on an adventure. On its back is the inscription "1922, 8383 km", recording this historic milestone of the aeronautics that linked Lisbon to Rio de Janeiro. SACADURA travels through spaces of familiar conviviality or metropolitan agitation, making each place memorable.

Conflicts in Africa force nearly two million kids from schools
A surge in "deliberate" attacks against students, teachers and schools in West and Central Africa has led to a tripling in school closures in the last year and left almost two million youngsters "robbed of an education", the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) said on Friday.
In a new report detailing threats of violence against schools across the region and issues as a 'Child Alert', the UN agency warned that a generation of children risks being denied the right to learn.
"Nearly two million children are out of school due to conflict, so it is not an easy number," UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador, Muzoon Almellehan, told journalists in Geneva. "It is important to highlight those challenges, to highlight the struggle of those people. They need us, they need our attention."
Data gathered by UNICEF to June indicates that 9,272 schools have been closed in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mali, Niger and Nigeria as a result of insecurity - three times the number at the end of 2017.
"Schools are being shut down," according to UNICEF Deputy Executive Director, Charlotte Petri Gornitzka. "Over the past two years, the number of schools that have been shut down has tripled; over 9,000 schools due to the insecurity have been attacked."
The UNICEF report notes how spreading insecurity across north-west and south-west Cameroon has left more than 4,400 schools forcibly closed.
In Burkina Faso, more than 2,000 schools are closed, along with more than 900 in Mali, owing to increasing violence in both countries.
In the central Sahel region, moreover, Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger have witnessed a six-fold increase in school closures owing to attacks and threats of violence in just over two years, from 512 in April 2017, to more than 3,000 by June this year.
School closures in the four countries affected by crisis in the Lake Chad Basin Cameroon, Chad, Niger and Nigeria remained at around 1,000 between the end of 2017 and June 2019.
Just back from visiting a camp for people displaced by violence in central Mali, Ms. Almellehan insisted in Geneva that for many people, herself included, education was vitally important in giving children hope for a better future.
"I had to flee my homeland in Syria in 2013 and I also had to live in refugee camps," she explained. "It wasn't easy for me and also I can feel like those children who can't go to school, because education is something really, really important to me, myself."
One direct result of children not getting an education is that they are more vulnerable to recruitment by extremists or abuse at their hands such as forced marriage, the UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador insisted.
"When a child is not at a school, especially if the child suffers from a very bad economic situation, when they are in poverty, when they don't have enough awareness, all of that can affect that child and can lead that child to being exploited easily," she said.
On a wider level, the lack of schooling "is casting a foreboding shadow upon children", their families, their communities and society at large," UNICEF said in a statement, noting that more than 40 million six to 14-year-olds are already missing out on school in Central and West Africa.
The agency is working with education authorities and communities to support alternative learning opportunities including community learning centres, radio school programmes, technology for teaching and learning, and faith-based learning initiatives.
It is also providing tools for teachers who work in dangerous locations, and psychosocial support and care for schoolchildren emotionally scarred by violence.

Did Nicki Minaj really steal her summer 2012 hit Starships from someone else?
That's the case if you believe Chicago musician Clive Tanaka, who says Minaj's summer 2012 mega-hit copies substantial parts of his own 2009 song Neu Chicago.
Tanaka filed a lawsuit against Minaj, producer Nadir Khayat — better known as RedOne — and writers Carl Falk, Wayne Hector and Rami Yacoub, claiming copyright infringement, according to The Chicago Tribune. Tanaka says his song already had significant airplay in the United States, as well as hundreds of thousands of streams online, before Starships could have been conceived.
Tanaka is described in the Chicago Tribune article as a mysterious figure, albeit an award-winning musician, who has never performed live in public.
"We believe they are similar to the point that it is nearly impossible for it to be a coincidence," Christopher Niro, Tanaka's attorney, tells the paper about the two songs.
Starships set a Billboard record when it remained in the Top 10 for 21 straight weeks

Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift Perform 'Baby' Duet Live [VIDEO]
Justin Bieber has made something of a habit out of making surprise public appearances lately — as these wedding guests can attest — and he continued his streak Tuesday night at the Staples Center in Los Angeles.
What was so unexpected about Bieber taking the stage in L.A.? Only the fact that Taylor Swift was already there, wowing a crowd of several thousand fans — who really went into a frenzy when they saw her special guest.
Bieber and Swift then broke into a duet performance of his big hit 'Baby,' trading verses and yielding the mic to the crowd during the chorus. Apparently feeling especially frisky, Bieber even threw in Ludacris' verse from the remix version.
Sure, it was a much tamer surprise than Swift's recent wardrobe malfunction, but listen to those explosive tween screams — could this be the cause of yesterday's earthquake?

Injustice: Gods Among Us - PS3
Release Date:19 April 2013
Also on:PlayStation 3 Wii U Xbox 360 PS4
Viewing UK:Also on USA.
Injustice: Gods Among Us pits iconic comic book characters like Batman, Lex Luthor, and Wonder Woman against one another in classic fighting action. Injustice offers more than 20 playable characters, broken into Power (Superman) and Gadget (The Flash) subtypes, and gamers can unleash a variety of light, medium, and heavy attacks, or pull off special moves that are unique to each character. Battles take place on a two-dimensional plane in familiar locations like the Batcave and the Fortress of Solitude, but the 3D backgrounds showcase multi-tiered arenas that are partially destructible and contain a variety of interactive objects.
Super Gamer Dude
PlayStation 3
To describe Injustice Gods Among Us as an all action fighting game would be an understatement. The level of violence and the manner of delivering it is so over the top it verges on slapstick and is all the better for it. The cast of characters in the game reads like a who's who of DC Comic heroes with Batman, Superman, Lex Luthor, Green Arrow, Luchador Bane, The Flash, Nightwing, Deathstroke, Catwoman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Solomon Grundy, Cyborg, The Joker and Harley Quinn all playing their part which usually means fighting every other member of the cast using their own special immensely exaggerated abilities.
The action takes place in various on earth and above earth locations and moving between them is usually achieved by battering your way through walls and other obstacles or, better still, punching or throwing another character through them.
Scattered around these locations or battlefields are various objects which give extra powers to each character and the quality and quantity of these added powers depend on the character finding the power enhancing object.
In amongst this fighting chaos there is some sort of story. After Lois Lane, carrying Superman's unborn child, is blown up in nothing less than a nuclear explosion, Superman takes it upon himself to build a new and more just world. However, Batman, who is the on screen persona of the player, has other ideas and forms alliances with some of the other characters to frustrate Superman's plans. So not too strong on plot but moving from one outrageously epic battle to the next provides sufficient fun for the story to be pretty much irrelevant.
The cartoon like graphics are purpose built and suit that purpose well. The characters appear much as you have seen them before from other games or comics, but if you have not seen them before they are probably well enough conceived for the viewer to guess their names from a list of those available. The voice acting and incidental sounds are not very realistic, but given the characters and the nature of the action perhaps realistic is an inappropriate term to use and the cover all 'well suited' may be better.
Although the game does not take itself too seriously it is certainly seriously good fun.

International Friendly: Germany 3 Paraguay 3
An absorbing encounter at the Fritz-Walter-Stadion in Kaiserslautern saw Germany and Paraguay draw 3-3 on Wednesday.
Both sides named strong sides ahead of their final FIFA World Cup qualifiers, with two goals in four first-half minutes from Jose Nunez and Wilson Pittoni putting Paraguay ahead before
Ilkay Gundogan and Thomas Mueller drew Germany level.
Miguel Samudio put the visitors back in front on the stroke of half-time before a second-half Lars Bender strike ensured the hosts avoided consecutive friendly defeats.
Germany manager Joachim Loew was without injured trio Mario Goetze, Julian Draxler and Bastian Schweinsteiger, but Ilkay Gundogan and Marco Reus were among the returning contingent, despite fitness doubts before the game.
Paraguay's record goalscorer Roque Santa Cruz was recalled to Victor Genes' starting line-up, while Justo Villar made his 100th appearance for Paraguay in goal.
The strength of Germany's line-up, going into the final round of World Cup qualifiers which start in September, showed how serious Loew was taking the friendly and he will have been pleased with his side's start to the game.
A Reus free-kick forced an early save from Villar before Gundogan and Klose both had efforts from inside the area.
However, Nunez gave his side the lead against the run of play after nine minutes when he dispatched a long ball past Manuel Neuer.
Klose should have equalised for Germany shortly after when he was played through by Gundogan, but, while his dink beat Villar, it also went over the crossbar.
Pittoni then doubled Paraguay's lead after 13 minutes, following poor German defending.
The Olimpia midfielder struck a half-volley after a bad clearance which deflected off Sami Khedira and past Neuer to put Paraguay in control.
The goals kept coming, although it was the hosts finally making headway. Gundogan clawed one back after 18 minutes, hitting a deft curling strike which evaded Villar, who could only get a hand to the ball.
The Borussia Dortmund midfielder showed his value at the other end, clearing a corner off the line before being forced off with a back problem to be replaced by Bender.
Germany restored parity 31 minutes in as Mueller stayed onside and controlled a lofted ball under pressure from the onrushing Villar before calmly rolling the ball past the goalkeeper.
However, Paraguay ensured they went in ahead at the break, when Santa Cruz squared for Samudio to score from close range on the stroke of half-time.
Mario Gomez replaced Klose early in the second half and he had a quick impact, forcing a good save from Villar after 57 minutes.
Fellow substitute Jerome Boateng then rifled a shot over the bar after 71 minutes before Mueller fired across goal shortly after.
However, Germany's search for an equaliser ended three minutes later when Bender latched on to a loose clearance and fired home to make it 3-3.
Andre Schurrle had a late chance but could only blaze over from close range after waves of Germany pressure.
Next up for both sides are final batches of World Cup qualifiers, with UEFA Group C leaders Germany hosting Austria in September while Paraguay, who sit bottom of CONMEBOL qualifying, host Bolivia in the same month.

The finals of the great Road From Bristol bracket (non-ESPN edition) has arrived, just in time for FOX's coverage of the two championship series. The final two competitors are both baseball broadcasters, one known for being an unabashed homer, the other bringing more ballast than a war correspondent.
FOX's Tim McCarver trounced Dan Marino, Jimmy Johnson, Terry Bradshaw and Billy Packer on his way to the finals, while White Sox shill Hawk "You can put it on the board, YEAH!" Harrelson, somewhat of a surprise finalist, breezed by Seth Davis, Steve Lyons, Magic Johnson and Tony Siragusa. We personally think McCarver's got this one in the bag; right now, fans of all four teams are frantically scouring the Web to see if McCarver and Joe Buck are doing their game, or the other series. (Sorry, White Sox and Angels fans; you're the winners.)

Guest poem sent in by Nandini Krishnamoorthy
(Poem #1478) A Piece Of The Storm
For Sharon Horvath From the shadow of domes in the city of domes, A snowflake, a blizzard of one, weightless, entered your room And made its way to the arm of the chair where you, looking up From your book, saw it the moment it landed. That's all There was to it. No more than a solemn waking To brevity, to the lifting and falling away of attention, swiftly, A time between times, a flowerless funeral. No more than that Except for the feeling that this piece of the storm, Which turned into nothing before your eyes, would come back, That someone years hence, sitting as you are now, might say: "It's time. The air is ready. The sky has an opening."
I stumbled upon this poem thanks to Radhika mentioning the website "Poetry in motion". The interpretation of this poem would be a daunting task to even the seasoned critics, and I have but tried to "comprehend" the poetry. To me the poem ties time and the power of transience in our lives. Some things though seemingly transient are destined to unfold ever so slowly, giving us the luxury to soak in the beauty of "it" being prolonged and when its over, it reinforces the fact that it may start all over again, only to capture another's attention. Of course this poem also tries to paint the image of man as a mortal being and that many things that we believe to be significant may melt to nothingness. Well if it hurts no one, I would stick with my first line of interpretation. Perhaps Mark Strand's opinion on interpreting poetry would be a good way to summarize this poem. "It's not that poetry reveals more about the world it doesn't but it reveals more about our interactions with the world than our other modes of expression. And it doesn't reveal more about ourselves alone in isolation, but rather it reveals that mix of self and other, self and surrounding, where the world ends and we begin, where we end and the world begins". - Mark Strand (Interview with Katharine Coles) Nandini

Days after a campaign led by a 14-year-old girl secured a promise from Seventeen magazine not to alter body shapes in photographs, more teens protested against Teen Vogue on Wednesday with "Keep it Real" signs and a makeshift red carpet.
About half a dozen girls high-fived each other as they catwalked near the magazine's office in Times Square. They've collected more than 28,000 signatures in just over a week asking Teen Vogue to follow Seventeen's lead in declaring an end to digitally manipulating images.
The girls, affiliated with the protest group SPARK Movement, said Teen Vogue and other magazines read by vulnerable young readers present an unrealistic notion of beauty, threatening their self-esteem and leading to depression and eating disorders.
One of the protest organizers, 17-year-old Emma Stydahar of suburban Croton-on-Hudson, was a Teen Vogue subscriber in middle school.
"I remember looking through these magazines and thinking, 'Oh I wish I had her legs. I wish I had her waist.' It was, like, this is what beautiful is and this is what I look like," she said.
Teen Vogue said in a statement it makes a "conscious and continuous effort to promote a positive body image among our readers." Like Seventeen's top editor, Ann Shoket, Teen Vogue agreed to a private meeting with the girls.
"We feature healthy models on the pages of our magazine and shoot dozens of non-models and readers every year and do not retouch them to alter their body size. Teen Vogue pledges to continue this practice," the statement said.
Emma and her co-organizer of the petition drive, 16-year-old Carina Cruz, want the magazine to put that in writing on its pages for all readers to see as Shoket did in Seventeen.
Dana Edell, executive director of SPARK, said Teen Vogue presents hard-core fashion that emulates the look of its adult counterparts, compared to Seventeen's overall focus on the teen lifestyle.
By Edell's count, Teen Vogue's online homepage Wednesday featured 15 models, all "very, very thin and 13 who were white."
"These images don't look like most girls," she said. "They present an alien, skinny, scrawny, blond, skeletal beauty."
Protester Britney Franco, 13, of Brooklyn is a Teen Vogue subscriber. She hopes to be a photographer and fashion editor one day.
"I love the magazine," she said. "That's why I want them to change."
